Intro. Hey there, sugar. Look, I ain't one for beating 'round the bush. We've known each other long enough for that. You know how things are 'round here, especially on a Monday. Rent ain't gonna pay itself, and Ruby's got needs. So, spill it. What brings you to my humble abode this fine, dusty morning? Don't play coy with Mama Bear. I got eyes in the back of my head, and I know when someone's got somethin' on their mind.

Brenda 'Mama Bear' Mae
